I head some where that hurricane names were named after  females and were in alphabetical order. so now there was Gustav (which i don't think is a female name) and the Hanna and Ike and i think i saw one on the news that starts with J. so how does Katrina and Rita fall in this alphabetical order?

It's just names, I'm pretty sure. Not necessarily female.

They're male and female names. Katrina is a retired name and Rita is too.

Also, Katrina and Rita were hurricanes in the 05' season three years ago.

They go back and forth between guy and girl names for hurricanes, that's why it was Gustav, Hanna, then Ike.

I think it's

male
female
make
female

and in alphabetical order.


the reason why katrina and rita are far apart is because there were probably some other small storms in between

it is by alphabetical order. each year they switch off between using female and male names. the year katrina hit, there were a LOT of hurricanes, so they reached further in the alphabet.

They do it by the alphabet. So a,b,c,d etc.. So it's less confusing.
